The Shannon Rollason Podcast Episode 30 - Transitioning Programs From Age To Open Part 1 (Special Guest Jon Shaw)

Welcome to The Shannon Rollason Podcast, a swimming podcast like no other. The Shannon Rollason Podcast is back in 2023 and on a new home here on the Off The Blocks Swimming Podcast network. This week Shannon and I discuss the Rugby League State of Origin NSW v QLD and things we can learn and adapt to swimming as coaches. We discuss transitioning from a successful age group program into a successful open squad program and how you go about it, things to look at and knowing when your program isn't suitable for open athletes We are also joined by a very special guest NSW Swimming Coaching Director Jon Shaw. Jon joins us to discuss the Blues loss, and gives us his thoughts on transitioning our NSW swimmers from top Age group swimmers to top Open level swimmers, and what the future looks like.
